Fope Gioielli has confirmed its collaboration with the International Art Prize Arte Laguna also for this year.

This important event will take place in Venice in March 2013 and will contemplate prizes in money, a collective exhibition in Venice Arsenale, a special exhibition at the Romanian Institute for Arts Culture and Research, a number of exhibitions in art galleries and an official catalogue.

The total value of the Prize is 170,000 Euros. The Prize is open to all Artists, without any limit of age, sex, nationality or other qualifications. Each artist can participate with one or more artworks, in one or more sections.

SPECIAL PRIZE “BUSINESS FOR ART”

Within this event, Fope supports Business for Art, a special prize dedicated to the section of virtual art, which was established by the company from Vicenza last year. It includes artworks entirely created with computer software, graphics and 3D animation, virtual installations, net art, and artworks made through smartphone or tablet applications, and net art productions. The winner will receive an award, as well as a prize in money, and will have the chance to participate in an art project made in collaboration with Fope Gioielli.

FOPE is an Italian goldsmith that since 1929 has been a symbol of elegance, artisanal skill and continuous experimentation.

FOPE was founded by Umberto Cazzola in 1929, in Vicenza where he opened his jewellery workshop. Now in its fourth generation, this family-owned company proudly continues to keep its production, management and headquarters in Vicenza, staking itself on the solidity of timeless values such as Made in Italy (from conception to creation), product quality, originality of design and material innovation. FOPE has always been astonishing for more than 80 years: the creative and innovative footprint is recognizable in every jewel which is at the same time unique and distinctive.

In addition to the handcraftsmanship with which every jewel is created, FOPE is also distinctive for a most surprising approach to communication: new projects and frequent forays into the world of art make the Vicenza brand a dynamic business, with a strong worldwide image.
